Usage notes
This word has no singular (hypothetically *maihadhūs), and is only used in its dual (maihadhūt) and plural (maihadhaus) forms. In order to refer to a single parent, either meinā (mother) or bunā (father) are used, or, more formally, the construction maihadobhan emibe (one of the parents — maihadobhan being the syncretic exessive/ablative dual form).
